Liberman: Punishment handed out to Arab MKs is a 'joke'

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman on Monday night dismissed the Knesset Ethics Committee’s decision to suspend three Arab Knesset members who met families of terrorists as a “joke”.

The committee ruled earlier that MKs Hanin Zoabi and Basel Ghattas would be suspended for a period of four months, while MK Jamal Zahalka would suspended for two months. All three are members of the Joint List's Balad faction.
